Creed to Live By

Don't dismiss your Dreams;

To be without dreams is to be without hope.

To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast

That you forget where you've been,

But also where you're going.

Life is not a race,

But a journey to be savoured every step of the way.

Don't undermine your worth

By comparing yourself with others:

It is because we are different

That each of us is special.

Don't set your goals

By what other people deem important:

Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted

The things closest to your heart.

Cling to that as you would your life,

For without them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers

By living in the past or the future.

By living your life one day at a time,

You live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give,

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
